The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 210

Walter continued goading Victor, "Right now, Mr. Zeller and the others are giving you the opportunity, Mr. Langley. Will you really not take this chance to seize the company for yourself?

"Langley Group is the top company in Amberton, and the Langleys are the richest family in Amberton. Mr. Langley, you know very well how Langley Group has been operating these past few years.

"The future prospects and development of Langley Group will only get better, not worse. If Mr. Zeller and the rest really sell their shares to other companies, you might not even retain the right to an opinion, Mr. Langley."

"Walter, are you being sincere?" Victor stared at Walter, who was a lawyer with words sharper than anyone else's.

Still, everything that he said until now was true.

Victor was tempted, so all he needed was for someone to give him a push.

"If you want Mr. Zeller's and the others' shares, I can help you go through all the documents and procedures," Walter said calmly. "After all, I was brought back from the orphanage and raised by Mrs. Langley Senior."

"But after Natalie leaves, won't you also leave with her?" Victor was still hesitant. "You're helping Yvonne and the employees of Langley Group claim their compensation now. How can I trust you?"

Walter laughed immediately upon hearing this. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and carefully wiped them with a cleaning wipe.

"Mr. Langley, this is where you're wrong. Even if I don't help Yvonne and the others negotiate with you, what if they apply for labor arbitration or expose Ms. Walkers 'great accomplishments' at Langley Group online? Do you really think Langley Group would remain unaffected?"

Walter smiled faintly. Although Victor was Grace's son, his methods and decisiveness were far inferior to Grace's.

It was just that Grace was getting older, and perhaps knowing what kind of person her son was, skipped Victor and raised Natalie under her wing.

But who would have known that Grace wasn't being sincere toward Natalie?

There were probably other hidden schemes at play here.

Natalie's interrogation of Grace in the ward was unlikely to yield any answers, but she didn't care. Her main goal was to stall her while Walter worked on persuading Victor to buy out the shares from the other shareholders.

Victor, being indecisive, wanted the shares, but Grace had strictly prohibited him from acquiring the shares held by Kevin and the rest. Walter didn't need to use elaborate flattery—a little pressure was all it took to convince Victor.

"The animosity between Mr. Zeller and Ms. Langley has already been formed. To put it bluntly, if Mr. Zeller doesn't leave, Ms. Langley will never be able to enter Langley Group. Mr. Zeller's voluntary departure would be a dignified solution for both parties.

"It's also out of respect for Mrs. Langley Senior that we're considering selling the shares to you first. That way, even if Mrs. Langley Senior decides to give her shares to Natalie, the majority of the shares would still be in your hands. In the future, Langley Group will still be under your control."

After Walter finished speaking, he looked through the documents left by the other shareholders. Their combined shares weren't all that significant.

Grace held the largest number of shares, followed by Kevin and Jack.

Victor, as Grace's son, held the least shares. Although his percentage held was small, he received the highest annual dividends.

This was because Grace's share of the dividend was also given to Victor and Diana. On paper, Grace gave her shares to Natalie, but in reality, Natalie did not receive any dividends whatsoever.

This was also the decision Grace had made before she got into the car accident while saving Natalie.

At that time, Walter disagreed with it, but Natalie herself had no objections, so he couldn't say anything.

Perhaps because Walter didn't live with the Langleys and did not receive as much attention and care from Grace, he was able to see things more clearly—and earlier—than Natalie did.
